Josef Koudelka film

[boojum]

Let me remind you folks that I quoted Overgaard's statement, "Always wear a camera." This is good advice. That is all I did. Maybe you can take a picture without one but I have not yet figured out how to. Help me out. So long as he is not committing capital crimes I am glad to take from him whatever of value I can learn. And maybe, too, if he is committing capital crimes. After all, many of us have read The Prince a handbook on skulduggery. Some pious saint that knows squat is of no value to me, outside of pilgrimages and penitence. And I am not interested in either of them.

There is someone in the photography reviewing business guilty of self-promotion? I am shocked. And I am so glad it is confined to this Dane, adrift in search of Yorick to photograph. It would be calamitous if it were to spread. Gratefully it is just Overgaard whom we can concentrate our criticism on. I am beginning to believe I am in Heaven. I seem to be surrounded by saints. ;o)

There's one thing that bothers me about this post. His name is JOSEF, not John.

Maybe someone corrected that in a reply...I missed it if they did.

Agree. Perhaps a Moderator could change the title. A visitor to RFF might think we lack attention to detail. HC-B sometimes used Hank Carter, but I don't think Koudelka would want to be called Jack. And John would be right out.

But Gino sounds very italiano. I’d have no problem calling myself Gino Kudelzziano if I was him.

Succinct and well thought out.

This whole thread has some good links.

The film at the end of the old link to YT was removed. It seems to have been reposted (I saw it today): Koudelka: Shooting Holy Land:


Not exactly bad but not a particularly good documentary either, and a little too long for what it is IMO.
